Nordion shareholders support $805 mln takeover by Sterigenics

June 6 (Reuters) - Shareholders of Canadian medical isotope
supplier Nordion Inc voted on Friday to support a
friendly $805 million friendly takeover bid from U.S. based
Sterigenics International, clearing one of the major hurdles to
a deal.

More than 76 percent of votes cast by shareholders backed
the offer, which satisfied the requirement for two-thirds
support.
